Niseko Tokyu Grand Hirafu

I love the mountain but not the middle management who run the ski resort, most of employees are very nice and doing their best. I hope owners are going to make some changes to the management. Good to see the place spinning in the summer and some facelifts to the facilities. Although would be nice to make over the toilets too but I guess it's fine as it is, maybe next year lol

Every snowboarders dream. Just have to hope that you get lucky and it’s not too windy so you have access to the whole mountain. It’s a great place to experience the backcountry for the first time, with amazing powder conditions and easy access back to the resort. If you’re going down from gate 3 or 4, would consider checking out some videos on YouTube for the best lines down. Would recommend going early to the lifts though as it’s always a rush for a clean line.

Beautiful ski resort with TONS of powder. My family and I have been going every Christmas for the past 15 years (except Covid years). It does get very busy during Christmas and chairlift queues can get very very long but the snow is so worth it.

I've been to many ski resorts, but Niseko is heaven for skiers or snowboarders. Not only does it combine four major ski resorts, but each has its own variety of slopes, and you can ski from the top of the mountain to the other resorts without having to take a shuttle bus. All facilities are well maintained, the staffs here are very friendly and helpful, if you have any questions they will able to help you in different leagues. The only downside to Niseko is the high prices, as it is located in the mountains away from the city, so if you want to ski in and out be prepared for accommodation and restaurants, to be more expensive than most other places in Japan. But I will still give it 5 🌟

Amazing views, great facilities, friendly conditions. The soft, powdery snow is great for beginners, as the falls won't be as painful and dangerous, especially for snowboard rides, which are more prone to falling.. overall a great visit for myself and friends. Would be back if I'm ever in the area again.

Great ski, resort. We came here for the last week of the off-peak season. It snowed every night and clear skies for most of the week. The snow was soft and fluffy, comparable to Utah or Colorado. Staff, very much like the rest of Japan are all about extreme politeness. A lot of tourists; heck, so am I.

Yes beautiful place and ski heaven here. Kids feel free and happy by the ski lessons, Chase4snow is wonderful and we enjoy the time with Coach Charlotte. Hope to come back again next year.

This ski resort deserves the world wide fame it gets, snow is amazing, views are amazing and the terrain is amazing. It is on the expensive side compared to other Japanese resorts but it’s the most famous so they charge what they want. The little villages at the base are amazing but it’s way more expensive, food and drinks are double what you will pay in other places. First day we were stuck in just HIrafu as the wind had the top of the mountain in hold. Night riding was an incredible experience and it started snowing just as the sun went down. Second day was 5-10cm of fresh snow and the riding was incredible. Hiked to the summit pf the resort and ride fresh lines on the return. We can’t wait to come back to Niseko.
